Energy-aware and Green Fluent.
Doric has been involved in energy-conscious homes since the advent of earth-sheltered housing in the late 1970s, and was an early participant in the Earth Sheltered Housing Institute at the University of Minnesota in 1980. Doric recognized the need for energy-conscious design, planning and use of materials long before green was "Green". 

From conscientious planning to site specific architecture, Doric knows that quality sustainable materials, responsible architecture and construction are the foundation of a successful green home.

Projects employing significant "green" materials, methods and or technology, are identified throughout this site with the green mark.
